What to know about insurance claims
After a collision, you may be coordinating a claim while also figuring out what happened to the vehicle. IG Auto Group in Van Nuys can assess collision damage and provide a free estimate for you to review as part of that process. An estimate describes the repair scope the shop can identify; an insurer's claim decision and payment terms are handled separately.
Bring claim documents you have, along with photos and a clear account of the impact. Compare the estimate with your paperwork and ask the shop to explain any differences. Hidden damage may affect the scope after inspection. Confirm the cost of diagnostic work or added repairs before authorizing them, and contact your insurer about coverage, approvals, deductibles, or claim status. Call (818) 399-6665 or email igautogroup01@gmail.com to request a free repair estimate.
When this service may help
- You need a repair estimate after reporting a collision to an insurer.
- A claim document or estimate does not seem to describe all visible damage.
- You want the shop to assess damage before deciding how to proceed.
- New damage or symptoms appeared after an initial estimate was prepared.
What to expect
Gather the information you have
Bring claim paperwork, photos, and details about where the vehicle was hit. If you have already received an estimate or other claim document, share it so the shop can understand what has been assessed.
Review the repair estimate
The shop can provide a free estimate for the damage and work it can identify. Ask it to explain the repair scope and any uncertainty. Coverage, claim approval, deductible, and payment questions should be confirmed with your insurer.
Confirm changes before proceeding
If further inspection reveals additional damage, request an explanation of the revised scope and cost. Check with the shop and insurer about their respective next steps before authorizing added repairs.
Common questions
Does the shop's estimate mean my insurer approved the repairs?
No. A repair estimate describes work the shop identifies; it does not confirm coverage or claim approval. Contact your insurer for decisions about your specific claim.
What should I bring to discuss a claim estimate?
Bring any claim documents or estimates you have, along with photos and details about the collision. This helps the shop understand what has already been documented.
What if hidden damage is found later?
Ask the shop to explain the additional findings and revised repair scope before authorizing extra work. Contact your insurer directly to ask how the change relates to your claim.
A good repair starts with a conversation.
